What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the Showtime cable channel, the Billions TV show stars Paul Giamatti, Corey Stoll, and Maggie Siff, with David Costabile, Asia Kate Dillon, Condola Rashad, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Daniel Breaker. In season six, Axe (Damian Lewis) is gone and Michael Prince (Stoll) has assumed his place. Now, Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti) must develop a new strategy that is keener and more sophisticated than before. All the players, from Wags (Costabile) to Wendy (Siff), from Taylor (Dillon) to Sacker (Rashad), and of course Senior (DeMunn), must sharpen their weapons and look for new alliances in order to survive. The ground is ever-shifting and the stakes absolute. New king, new war, new rules.
 

Season Six Ratings

The sixth season of Billions averaged a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 321,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season five, that’s down by 52% in the demo and down by 35% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are usually renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Billions stacks up against other Showtime TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Will Showtime cancel or renew Billions for season seven? This is currently the channel’s longest-running series and has done very well in the ratings in the past. The departure of Damian Lewis presents an interesting challenge. The show’s writers could use this as an opportunity to really shake things up and revitalize the series but it’s also possible that it will signal its end. We’ll have to wait and see how the viewers respond over the course of the season. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
